Gu Yun Chu asked with a smile.
Although she was smiling, her face was full of reluctance.
Since she was a child, Gu Yun Chu has never left Gu Li Li's side.
If she hadn't been tied up at the restaurant, Gu Yun Chu would have loved to go with Gu Li Li.
“You’re all grown up now. I’m going south, so you’ll have to take care of this family for your sister. But I have high hopes for you, so I don’t have much to say. I just wish you good food and drink.” Gu Lili said jokingly.
Hearing her sister trust her so much, Gu Yun Chu nodded vigorously.
"Sister, go in peace. I will take good care of the family and my younger siblings."
Seeing that Gu Yun Chu had agreed, Gu Li Li nodded with satisfaction and looked at Gu Huan Huan.
Actually, among all the people in the family, Gu Lili is most worried about Gu Huanhuan.
Life is getting better and better now, but Huanhuan, who used to be quite lively, is now much quieter than before.
Gu Lili knew that the incident had left Huanhuan with psychological trauma and indelible harm.
Gu Lili had already planned out a future for Gu Huanhuan. Next year, when the mulberry trees grow, they will start raising silkworms and then weaving them into cloth.
The fabrics embroidered by the embroiderers were then sold throughout the country and even the world.
This embroidery room was the coming-of-age gift that Gu Lili prepared for Gu Huanhuan.
In the future, no matter what choice Gu Huanhuan makes, this will be her source of confidence.
Gu Lili stroked Gu Huanhuan's head affectionately and said gently, "Huanhuan, you don't have to stay there embroidering every day. You should go out and play with Yue'er more often."
On weekdays, the apprentices who came to embroider, along with Zheng Yue, would get permission from the embroidery masters to take a break. They would either play around in groups or chat loudly under the eaves. Only Gu Huanhuan was different.
She rarely goes out with Gu Lili; at most, she'll greet Gu Lili with a smile and exchange a few words with her when Gu Lili comes home.
"Sister, don't worry about me. I just like embroidery, that's why I don't want to go out." Gu Huanhuan smiled, revealing a few small white teeth.
Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh in her heart. At such a young age, she had already learned to force a smile.
However, Gu Lili did not expose her, but felt even more sorry for Gu Huanhuan.
I wonder if Zhang Qiang is dead or not. If he is not, and Gu Lili encounters him again, she will definitely capture him and castrate him to resolve the knot in Gu Huanhuan's heart.
Now that she is a county magistrate, she naturally has a certain amount of say in the matter.
Gu Huanhuan smiled and leaned on Gu Lili's arm, just like when they were children, which made Gu Huanhuan feel very safe.
Seeing this, Gu Yanyu pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Hmph! Sister is so biased. Everyone else gets instructions, but I'm the only one left out. Doesn't sister love me anymore?"
Gu Yanyu's words made everyone burst into laughter.
Li Qimu laughed the loudest, slapping his thigh exaggeratedly as he laughed, "Hahahaha, my cousin said I'm not a man, look at you, you're about to cry, all pitiful and girly, hahaha..."
Gu Yanyu ordered everyone to laugh at him like that, and with Li Qimu's mockery, his face turned dark.
"I'm not about to cry, and I'm not being effeminate at all, humph!" Gu Yanyu snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
He wasn't going to cry, but his sister had reminded everyone else, but had forgotten about him, leaving him feeling empty inside.
Okay, he admits, he did want to cry.
He's only eight years old, still a child. It's perfectly normal for him to cry.
That kid Li Qimu actually called himself a sissy.
snort!
I'll definitely trip him up in class again and make the teacher give him a good beating.
Li Qimu's words forced Gu Yanyu to hold back the tears that had welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, Li Qimu, who was still laughing heartily, was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation. He continued to laugh, even to the point of tears.
If he had known that he would be tripped up by his own cousin the next day, he certainly wouldn't be laughing so loudly today.
Seeing Gu Yanyu like this, Gu Lili suppressed her laughter and pulled him in front of her.
"Where did I show favoritism? Don't you know? The main character in the drawing book always appears last, so I left you for last. Since you're in such a hurry, I'll give you some pointers."
As Gu Lili spoke, she tried her best to suppress her laughter.
"When you finish school and take Qimu to the seaside, you must be very careful. Remember to keep your back to the sea. Also, if you want to go up the mountain, you must follow an adult and not run up the mountain on your own," Gu Lili patiently instructed.
Hearing his cousin's slightly serious voice, Li Qimu stopped laughing.
He would never admit that he didn't laugh because Gu Yanyu glared at him several times.
Gu Yanyu nodded and obediently replied, "Sister, I know."
Gu Lili nodded and continued, "You must study hard. I've heard Master Yuan praise you many times. Perhaps you can give it a try in the next county examination!"
Even after finishing school, Gu Yanyu would take Li Qimu to the beach to go beachcombing.
However, he did not miss any of the lessons taught by his teacher, and sometimes he even had his own unique insights.
The teacher praised him highly, and even said that Gu Yanyu might be able to pass the county examination and become a student.
However, Gu Lili never said this to Gu Yanyu.
If she praised him too much, Gu Lili was afraid that the boy would become arrogant and stop studying hard.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanyu became even more energized. "Sister, I will definitely study hard under Master Yuan!"
Since Master Yuan praised him so highly in front of his sister, he naturally had to study hard and live up to her expectations.
The group drank tea, ate snacks, chatted idly in the courtyard, and enjoyed the cool air.
The thought of Gu Lili leaving tomorrow filled everyone with reluctance.
Now I'm not sleepy at all, I just want to spend more time with Gu Lili.
The people of Gu Village all know that some of the mushrooms in the mountains are edible, and Gu Lili specially taught them how to identify some non-poisonous ones.
When Gu Lili delivered the rice to Grandpa Village Head today, she asked him to pass on the instructions to everyone.
If you go up the mountain to find mushrooms and can't eat them all, feel free to send them to the Gu family.
If Gu Yun Chu Restaurant can't be sold, then let Uncle Fa Cai sell it.
The same applies to seafood from the beach.
However, Uncle Fa Cai is busy with his crab business these days and can't spare the time.
Gu Lili had originally planned to wait a little longer for Uncle Facai, but she was worried that something might happen that would delay her return and cause her to miss the autumn harvest.
